My weekend was great! Totally different.
Saturday I went to check the Tate Modern multimedia system. Very well designed, easy to use, high quality media, and has a great feedback. I liked how the colours are used to change the visibility of the system, how games explore the theme of some paintings and also how it is easy to know about a masterpiece that you are in front of.
On the other hand, I was in a hurry because some lines of the tube were closed then I had 1 hour and a half to visit the museum. I missed some facilities in the system such as: length of the audio, video; a screen with thumbnails of the main paintings, sculptures of the museum, search (I wanted to see a work of Andy Warhol and I couldn't find walking in the gallery). A map was available, but the system doesn't provide information about each room when we select certain room on the screen. A fast visit, or a tour guides with certain themes could be interesting.
Saturday night I met interesting people in Reading. We had a little female house party. A lot of cultures, different perspectives... And we danced, belly dance, salsa and of course samba!!!
Sunday I and Vania (a researcher from Brazil that is in the University of Reading as a visitant research, explored Reading and the Landmarks - Abbey, Parks and Lakes. Beautiful city :) While we are visiting the places, we discussed about research. It was incredible good for me, so good that in the return journey to Brighton I was drawing diagrams and trying to document what we talked about. I'm very excited about my research now!!!
I found this diagram about handheld devices that illustrate a little our chat
